Traditional IT systems in higher education are often challenging to replace safely as institutions seek to modernise their learning environments. Furthermore, they have to master how to manage large-scale, highly distributed infrastructure in order to scale their operations to take on a large number of new students, especially those based remotely.
The open network architectures of educational institutions and the sheer number of students they serve across multiple delivery channels make them particularly vulnerable to security threats.
IT infrastructure must also seek to comply with multiple regulations and standards, including PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, FERPA and HIPAA. This leads to compliance reporting becoming essential.
Infrastructure performance must be monitored continuously in order to catch issues and suspicious user activity, so your educational organisation cannot afford to go without this solution. A quick troubleshooting process using an observability platform such as Logit.io’s will able to deal with a higher level of system load caused by online learning environments.
Want to request a demo or need to speak to a specialist before you get started? No problem, simply select a time that suits you in our calendar and a member of our technical team will be happy to take you through the platform and discuss your requirements in detail.
To ensure end-to-end situational awareness, Logit.io collects and indexes all your machine data, this allows you to improve visibility into IT operations and regulations and mandates by using the Logit.io platform.
Maintaining a cost-effective security, compliance, and risk mitigation solution in higher education is made possible by using Logit.io. Logit.io also serves to enhance proactive threat response by monitoring incidents and attacks in real time and providing ad-hoc reporting dashboards.
Optimise operational efficiency and decision-making within educational institutions by reducing costs through harnessing the best in hosted open-source technology, backed by Logit.io.
"Internally, Logit.io has made it easier for us to provide better support for our customers, since finding individual messages based on various data in the payload has become easier.
At Youredi, pretty much everyone from our technical support teams through to our professional services teams uses Logit.io."
Mats von Weissenberg, CTO @ Youredi
"One thing is certain when operating in the startup space, a strict budget. Before we make any purchase decision to use a SaaS Log Management platform, we need to validate the benefits of the platform and more importantly the team behind the platform.
Logit.io's customer support team stood out. Right from the beginning, the Logit.io team was there to answer questions and walk us through the process."
Ioannis Sintos, Co-Founder & CIO - Uizard
Logit.io offers our company an excellent solution of ingesting our logs, we recently had to do quite a few updates on the platform since the previous service owner in our company left and didn't want to do them, Logit.io was of great assistance throughout the whole process.

Universities often miss out on the opportunity to use machine data intelligently. An entire campus IT infrastructure, including networks, infrastructure, applications, servers, learning management systems and end-user devices, generates enormous quantities of data that can provide unprecedented insight into problems, usage patterns and trends.
Data can be read from a variety of sources by the Logit.io platform. These sources include registration systems, learning management systems, networks, web servers, log files, firewall data, legacy applications, application servers, and structured databases. To drive lower costs, improve operations, and secure educational institutions, the Logit.io Platform identifies problems, risks and opportunities using every possible type of telemetry that your systems create.
The fact that most campuses use open network infrastructures means that security threats and network abuse can originate from anywhere, making proactive security solutions imperative.
On college campuses, information is shared openly and widely due to the IT infrastructure. With Logit.io, you can detect patterns of network abuse in real time by correlating machine data across a wide range of sources and configuring alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
You can configure flexible and powerful alerting directly from your Logit dashboard using your existing Elasticsearch queries to further enhance your logging and metrics management. Notifications and alerts are delivered to your existing ticketing, notification and collaboration tools, including Opsgenie, Slack, Jira, Pagerduty, VictorOps and ServiceNow.
Campuses can index, search, and analyse data analytics using Logit.io software to gain insight into key issues and metrics across applications and IT infrastructure. Through Logit.io, you can easily track transactions across all student, faculty, and staff systems.
Whenever students learn in online environments, more sensitive information is available, and more devices are being used to access this data. In the absence of proper protection, educational institutions face a number of risks which need to be accounted for.
Additionally, many higher education institutions must meet multiple regulatory requirements and standards, including PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, FERPA, and HIPAA. Using Logit.io allows you to easily collect, audit, store, and view data required by these regulations. Logit.io ensures cost-effective security and compliance to mitigate risk for educational organisations.
Campuses are particularly vulnerable to security threats given the large number of users they serve. Historically, universities' commitment to preserving academic freedom has also entailed open network architectures. As a result of this, security threats can happen quickly and start anywhere within the IT infrastructure. Logit.io can handle this information security challenge by collecting and indexing all machine data to support ad hoc reporting and real-time monitoring of logs, metrics and traces, which all assist security teams in becoming proactive instead of reactive.
